I think there are some reasons for this:

- I am always very lucky. Even if I put almost no effort in any kind of project it always comes out at least ok.

- My bachelor course was more or less a joke. The description of the single classes always sounded totally impressive but in the end most it was just rubbish and very easy.

- The master course I attended was a pure joke. If I had put any effort in it it would have been possible to pass it with almost perfect grade.

- I got my PhD position through pure luck and some personal connections.

- I am VERY good at pretending that I am actually working

So all in all I just perfected the art of procrastination. For example, when I was in the military service (not US), I more or less had to smuggle myself into a local military base for a few weeks because I was just to lazy to get a new id card.

when I was in the military service (not US)

So, how did you make it into the military service without learning to do unpleasant things?

I totally forgot about this: This whole military thing itself was just the result of procrastination.

Getting in the military was not the problem. Not getting drawn and doing something alternative was just too much effort for me at that time.

You know, in some countries you're still drawn into the service, no questions asked
